Roger attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln earning his degree in Business. He spent most of his working career as the Director of Purchasing and Procurement at UNL. He was an avid fan of all the Husker Men and Women’s sports. He also enjoyed being one of the coaches for 5 years on his son’s Lincoln Cyclone Baseball team. He loved to travel and plan trips, researching adventures and ideas with his wife, Judy. He was always planning ways to make others smile and enrich their lives. He thrived on helping others and sharing helpful common-sense advice. People were drawn to him by his kindness, lighthearted jokes, and humor. He was so loved and respected by many. He will be dearly missed by all.
